"They lied low for a while," said Aglipay referring to the remaining drug syndicates who continue to operate despite the relentless operations by the government forces against them.
"We are employing assorted means to get them," Aglipay said.
When he assumed his post in June, Aglipay said there are 13 transnational drug syndicates, mostly headed by Chinese nationals, operating in the country.
But in a short period, the Anti-Drug Special Operations Task Force (AID-SOTF) raided three shabu laboratories and six warehouses in Cavite, Las Pinas City, Pasay City, Paranaque City, and Quezon City.
One of the leaders of the busted transnational drug syndicate, Jackson Dy, whose real name is Li Lan Yan, was arrested and is now behind bars.
Another drug syndicate leader, Benito Sy, who was known as Benito Sze in the Chinese community, is presently the subject of a nationwide manhunt.
The government is now in the process of seizing more than P100 million identified assets and properties of the two drug lords.
"We have identified the key players of the remaining drug syndicates and we expect to have them arrested in a short period of time," said Aglipay in an interview.
Aglipay has been touring the country recently to check the operations of the local AID-SOTF units.
